Facts about Venezuela
Venezuela has the most beautiful landscape in South America. In fact, only a few countries in the world have this natural beauty. The country has Caribbean coastline, idyllic islands, grasslands teeming with wildlife and not to forget the world’s highest waterfall, The Angel Falls. The most popular tourist destination for enjoyment in the country is Margarita Island which has modern infrastructure, castles, fortresses, and beautiful beaches which are good for extreme sport. Visiting Venezuela is also very cheap because of the black-market value of the dollar. It is also noteworthy to mention that it is not entirely safe to visit the country at this time.
Tourists are restricted from entering Venezuela with $10,000 or its equivalent in any currency. On exit, it is compulsory to declare the same amount. Drug trafficking is a very serious offense in Venezuela and it attracts very long prison sentences and hefty fines.
